Welcome to Troop 22! We are chartered by Prince of Peace Episcopal Church and have been serving Woodland Hills and surrounding communities for 25 years.

The aim of the Scouting program is to develop youth with character, citizenship and personal fitness. Our Troop accomplishes this through fun activities like hiking, camping and community service projects. We have fun...with purpose! During our tenure we have helped over 75 boys become Eagle Scouts.

Please contact us to arrange to visit one of our meetings. There's always room for one more in Troop 22!

I am happy to announce that Nathan O'Donnell just successfully completed his Eagle Board of Review tonight. Nathan is the 65th Eagle Scout in Troop 22. Please join me in congratulating Nathan on his outstanding achievement!

Some of you got a taste of the meals the leaders made during the recent Matilija backpacking trip. For dinner we made Bannock Bread and Appalachian Chicken and Rice. (recipes below) Both were very easy to make, with only a little preparation at home. I got the recipes from the Boy Scout Backpacking Cookbook (here's a link). There are a ton of great recipes in there and If any of you want to look through my copy I can bring it to a meeting for you to check it out.

As our troop is very active, many announcements in these eblasts only apply to certain Patrols or groups (e.g. summer campers). Be sure to streamline your content by checking the "Patrol Filter" boxes in the lower left of the Home Page, then clicking "Filter Content." You must be logged in to do this. You will still get info that applies to the whole troop.

In case you haven't been watching your local news stand (do those still exist?) the Gear Head's equivalent of the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalogue just was published in the form of the Backpacker Magazine - 2014's Best New Gear (April 2014) edition. The editors test all the new gear and help people with real lives narrow down the choices based on utility, comfort, weight and price. Their "Gear School" article will help you get boots that fit, not over-pack for the weekend, and make your pack more comfortable, and the 10 essentials article will jog your memory. What I'm coveting this year:

I am happy to announce that Brett Campbell and Matt Feder both just successfully completed their Eagle Boards of Review. Brett is the 63rd and Matt is the 64th Eagle Scout in Troop 22. Please join me in congratulating both Brett and Matt on their outstanding achievements!
